Hmmm...

Different chipsets seem to behave differently, not surprising I guess.

I've got a new system with an nForce3 250Gb chipset on order from  
Monarch, Guess I'll see how it behaves, but I'm not intending to run  
Myth on it (FX60 CPU, would probably make mincemeat out of HD video :-))

If we get enough data points perhaps some patterns will emerge.
